Writer discovers fake book published under his name using AI

French writer Julien Blanc-Gras discovered a book bearing his name that he did not write. The book was likely generated using artificial intelligence, raising questions about authorship and copyright in the age of AI. Blanc-Gras found the title listed on a major online platform and obtained a copy, which contained generic text and stylistic inconsistencies. The incident highlights the growing problem of AI-generated content being sold under false identities, exploiting the reputation of established authors. Blanc-Gras has publicly denounced the impersonation and is considering legal action. The case underscores the challenges of protecting intellectual property when AI can mimic writing styles and produce entire books with minimal human input.
